roe versus wade stated that the state government and the federal government can't criminalize abortion in the first three months. that it is a fundamental constitutional right. now, after the first three months under the roe case, the state could have an increasing right to restrict access to abortion. but really based on women's health needs. and the roe decision was very clear that women's health is paramount. later decisions of the supreme court i'm sorry to say have slipped on protecting women's health. but what's really fascinating to me about the poll is that people do care about women's health. even when they're asked -- i've seen other polls as well. if abortion is recriminalized, should there be exception for women to protect their health and the overwhelming answer is yes and also exceptions for rape and incest. >> chris, i have to -- i have to take issue with the actual -- the characterization of what roe did. if the first and second trimester per prescribed, you could not -- you could not make any limitations on abortion up to viability up and to the life of the mother. so
